Each colorful book shows us the wonderful array of plants and animals that live in the lush wildernesses of the world's tropical rainforests. Acting as the earth's lungs, the rainforests are of vital importance to the planet and to the many indigenous peoples who have traditionally lived in harmony with their lush surroundings. Children will learn how conservationists are struggling to preserve these last remaining wildernesses for future generations. Predators and Prey takes a look at the animals that feed on the plant and insect-eating animals of the rainforest. Exciting illustrations help depict the hunting practices and ways of life of rainforest predators from hungry piranhas that live in the water to sharp-eyed cats that hunt by night on the forest floor, and eagles that swoop down from the canopy's treetops.
